My beautiful daughter!

Yesterday my daughter, Karla Jean, tuned 38.  Amazing!  I find it hard to believe it has been 38 years since my baby came into this world. I had never felt so blessed, so loved, so connected, so unsure in my whole life. I was holding this little piece of Heaven in my arms. I couldn't believe she was mine. I couldn't believe she had my blood running through her. I couldn't believe my body cared for her and carried her for 9 (almost 10) months!  And I couldn't believe any baby in the whole world was prettier than her! She had the greatest coloring and the most perfect skin and the most perfect lips and fingers. What a blessing. A blessing I didn't deserve.  I didn't realize then how different my life would be forever and ever. The gamut of emotions I would feel.....mostly the laughter and happiness she brought me over the years. Of course there has been tears and frustration raising a child, but the joy I have had with her and watching her grow has been the best part of my life.  I love her so much and she will always be my Charlie!  Happy birthday KJ!

 Where's my shoes?????

What a pleasure and honor God gave to me allowing me to deliver her into the world to bless others....and for allowing me to be her mom.  Thank you God!
